Publication History
Banshee was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Werner Roth, and first appeared in X-Men #28 (January 1967). When the character first appeared, he acted as an adversary to the X-Men under coercion, but soon befriended the team and eventually appeared as a member of the X-Men in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975). The character is forced to leave the team when his superpowers are damaged in battle in Uncanny X-Men #119 (March 1979), and remains an occasional supporting character for the team for several years. Banshee eventually heals fully, and rejoins the team in Uncanny X-Men #254 (Dec 1989) for a short stint, before later becoming a central figure in the title Generation X, which lasted from 1994-2001. Banshee is killed in issue #5 of the 2006 X-Men: Deadly Genesis limited series.
Banshee was one of the feature characters in the 2011 two-issue limited series Chaos War: X-Men.

Famous quotes containing the words publication and/or history:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
